Re: 2045, BBA Awards Voting Chatter

Honestly.. I think Simpson was the better hitter this season. And Ted trading for him is the reason TWC is on it's run right now. He's been hitting out his shoes the last few weeks. The difference in WAR between him and Shimizu is that Simpson is average defensively in LF and Shimizu is an excellent...

Re: 2045.3: Historic News Bears- Wie in the Record Books

Wie was always right behind Wareham in walks every season... But Wie's such a better hitter in every aspect than Wareham. The only reason Wareham's career WAR is close to Wie's is because Mark played Shortstop and Wie played 1B. And LOL at Jose Calderon having his worst season ever until he was trad...

Re: 2045, Sim #27/End Regular Season

Twin Cities closing on a 7 game winning streak to make the playoffs amuses me greatly. Has Ted's head blown up yet? I suspect not. He'd have to care. He and I chatted a couple times during the season. He made some crazy moves, I was blown away and would never have the balls to jump in like that. Ma...

Re: Input Requested: Relative Ratings

I hate the weird swings we get in ratings with different events, like roster expansions. It's hard to know if rating bumps/lumps are real or not.

I'm guessing some of you on the board have switched back between relative and actual. I'd like to hear some input from you on what you think.

The title of this news was so long I clicked on it because I thought it was a Marco post I had to comment on. Man seems to have set the stage for the Twin Cities tradition of early career lumping. Maybe now that he's retired it will finally stop? Matt talked about that in the league settings he cha...

Or even skipping a sim and making Opening Day on the normal Tuesday night?
I can do this. Gives more time for the Media Guide.

Re: FA Review Podcast 2044

Always a lot to unpack in these conversations. Inevitably we contradict ourselves. The worst part from an analysis standpoint, is that it's difficult to truly rate a signing without knowing a team's plan. I used to spend 4 or 5 hours pre-recording looking at each team's needs, budget, cap space, et...
